Unclear Which git-related key gets dropped, and whether it is one a reader might set on purpose, is not stated.
What
Settings files can contain an env block, which is a list of environment variables (named values passed to programs) that Claude Code applies when it starts. Settings come in layers, such as your personal settings and a project's settings, and Claude Code filters each layer's env block before using it.
Two things changed in that step:
Claude Code now records when a git-related key was dropped from one of the layers during filtering.
Each layer is now filtered using its own env block, where before the step read a different one.
Why
This may change which environment variables from your settings files actually take effect, especially ones related to git.
